ヴァラースハイムの峡谷・トップ5

Beautiful quiet valley! Especially in autumn and winter you can enjoy the silence here!

It's simply indescribably beautiful there. You have to be there. It's also good to go when the temperature is higher as it's mostly shady. What I noticed is that there are great, clean and well-maintained benches every 150 metres or so. So you can take a little break and enjoy nature.

Very nice hiking area

Beautiful idyllic creek valley. Relaxed hiking is the order of the day here.

Valley of the rocks, here you walk along a stream below the rocks, unfortunately the stream does not always have water

Beautiful hiking area 👍🏻🥾 highly recommended

"With an area of approx. 102 hectares, the area around the Gerolsteiner Dolomites has been a nature reserve since 1990. + occurring animal species: bat + occurring plant species: juniper, orchids, character plants calcareous grassland, grove rush-beech forest, woodruff-beech forest, orchid-limestone-beech forest Around 380 million years ago there was a warm, subtropical shallow sea here, in which mighty reefs of stromatopores - relatives of sponges - and corals formed. After the dolomitization, sinking and folding of the rocks, the Devonian deposits were lifted out again. Today's Gerolsteiner Dolomites were formed, which rise steeply above the Kylltal north of the center of Gerolstein. The rocks "Hustley", "Munterley", "Drohende Ley", "Große Kanzel" and "Auberg" characterize the cityscape from afar and form the landmark of Gerolstein. The most famous summit of the Gerolsteiner Dolomites is the "Munterley" - with a height of 482 meters - and offers a breathtaking view over Gerolstein, the Kylltal and far into the Vulkaneifel. Stone Age people, who settled here 30,000 years ago, obviously enjoyed this view, as evidenced by stone tools and bones found at the nearby Buchenloch Cave. Visiting the Gerolsteiner Dolomites can be perfectly combined with hiking the Felsenpfad - the northern part of the "Gerolsteiner Dolomiten Acht". The almost eight-kilometer round tour offers many magical places and geological traces." https://www.eifel.info/a-gerolsteiner-dolomites

The Altenburger Bach runs in many loops through the Altenburg valley. There are really impressive rock formations along the course of the stream.
